Well it didn’t take long but with the introduction of ranks people are already abusing the system presumably to get 50’s and with the introduction of rumble pit boosters are connecting multiple controllers to get high k/d’s.
Within the time it took to have two games I encountered a team of three working together in Rumble Pit laying waste to all the other players including me that were playing alone.
Then in another game I encountered a guy with three additional controllers connected (so he could he repeatedly kill them), after the game he asked me if I had any controllers and if I wanted to join a lobby and boost all day.
Its this kind of s**t that makes Halo depressing. Knowing that I’m working hard for my 50 and some giant -Yoinks!- are partying up and working together to boost it enrages me. Also knowing that some fat nerd think’s getting a super high k/d makes him good annoys me but not only that hes ruining the game for everyone else!
I have all their gamertags can anything else be done about them other than filing complaints?
I thought something was odd when I see three people at the top of the scoreboard wearing blue armor with their names for their spartan tags.
Nonetheless I pressed on and still managed to win a few of those games, but eventually I just got tired of the -Yoink- and left.
I don’t understand why people choose to boost or buy accounts though. CSR is a representation of skill, if you are cheating to obtain that skill then it is entirely meaningless.
It’s sad people who boost pointlessly have to ruin CSR for the rest of us who care about gaining those levels with integrity.
I wouldn’t let it bother you, it all boils down to the fact that they can’t legitimately get a good rank due to their lack of skill. You can take from that that you’re better than them, and it will show if you ever encounter one alone. On the path to a SWAT 50 currently, at 43 right now.

I hate to sound like that arrogant competitive guy buy ranked and social playlists prevented this sort of stuff.
If I remember correctly in Halo 3 Lone Wolves you could only go into a game on your own with no additional controllers or teammates.

Thanks for the reply and I appreciate what you’re saying but I think its always going to bug me, because at the end of the day, they will have 50’s but it wont say next to it on their player-card “achieved by being a boosting -Yoink-”. It will look exactly the same as my hard-earned 50.
Interesting how 343 wanted to stop boosting, but they’ve made it easier than ever. I recall only being able to enter FFA matches in a party of 1 in previous games.

Yeah it still sucks haha. They’ll probably never play Rumble Pit again after they get the 50 so their account will always show the same hard earned flames as yours will. Hopefully 343 will put together some sort of boost detection team to start reseting people getting 50’s unrealistically fast or with ridiculous statistics in their 50 playlist, won’t be easy though.

People changed their region on the xbox to something like china or that kind and then they met in the same game and were boosting.

This isn’t anything new. I laughed a little when you said you were working hard for your 50. Going by what people are saying, it seems like it’s not going to be very hard to get a 50 in the RP playlist.
they will be raped when they play alone by their count and more if is one of that ‘‘expert lone wolfs’’ who can deal with multiple spartan using crazy strafe and unpredictable moves.
I remember having a game where this guy was at 20,000 kills & 9000 deaths. He kept killing me with heavy weapons, so I sent him an invite to a custom game to see if he’s good using loadout weapons such as the BR. Dude scked as. He lost 15 - 4 only with power weapons. So I was like, he has to be boosting.
> Just a broken system. Why are people allowed to go into rumble pit with multiple people? Why are players allowed to have guests in ranked playlist?..
Proper Halo online multiplayers in Halo 2 and 3 would simply not allow this in ranked Rumble Pit. Sure there was social Rumble Pits for people who had a bunch of buddies over and would enter games with a lot of guests.
You see, not having a ranked and social split causes all sorts of problems with matchmaking.

THIS!
I have watched this type of boosting at HTR for a long time in this playlist. 343 needs a person to go through the ranks and look for this type of boosting then hit the delete button. Can you imagine the kids face after spending 8 hours boosting to come back the following day and see that his profile has been reset.
I want to say there shouldn’t be a ‘competitive skill’ rank in a social playlist where you can take spare controllers in and boost, but I’m sure the majority of people play it correctly the way it was intended so why should a minority of boosters spoil it for everyone else? I say leave the CSR in and just rely on the community to file complaints to weed out the cheaters.
343i could also look at imposing bans on people or resetting their CSR who are partial party boosting and coming across randoms in matchmaking and ruining their experience as was the case for the OP.
To the OP, avoid them for unsporting conduct, file complaints for cheating and PM their gamertags and a link to video evidence on your file share to a forum admin.
